I am using IntelliJ as my IDE and I run my junit tests from it. It automatically invoke the junit runner to run my tests. I assume the tool reference the junit.jar I set in the classpath and it is version 3.8.1.
The unit test I had problem contained just one line to test the initialization of Torque which set up the log4j logging based on entries in a properties file as following: log4j.rootCategory = ALL, default log4j.appender.default = org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.default.file = ${torque.applicationRoot}/logs/uptime.log log4j.appender.default.layout = org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout log4j.category.org.apache.torque = ALL, org.apache.torque log4j.appender.org.apache.torque = org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.file = ${torque.applicationRoot}/logs/torque.log log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.layout.conversionPattern = %d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n log4j.appender.org.apache.torque.append = false I don't get the exception when I run the test outside the junit framework ie. not extends TestCase. However, even I set to run the Junit Runner with the parameter -Dlog4j.ignoreTCL=true, I still got an exception.
